should we take a class ?

We already are going to take an infant CPR class from my friend who is a Red Cross instructor.

What about those lamaze classes i've heard about? my aunt told me about some weekend where you stay in a hotel and do the class over the course of a weekend which works for us being we both work Mon-Fri... But this was also almost 20 years ago. Where do I find a class like this if it still exists?

We took an infant CPR class, a breastfeeding class, and a series of 6 child birth classes (not Lamaze, just general issues from third trimester symptoms to nose sucker bulbs and umbilical cord care). I felt like I got good info out of that. We did our classes at the women's hospital where our daughter was going to be born.

As far as childbirth classes, I wanted to go natural and DH was supportive but not completely on board as how to help be supportive of me during birth. I found a teacher or the Bradley method and she condensed the twelve classes down to four for us. DH has a bizarre work schedule. That has worked really well, as the class teaches you what physically happens during birth and why. We're both really curious about medical stuff so this worked for us. The hospital classes don't really do much for getting through an unmedicated birth. IMO. HTH

if you are a first time father, take every class possible. My boyfriend was much better during the pregnancy once he was informed. The hospital I delivered in offered the classes. If yours doesn't offer classes they will at least be able to tell you who does!
